Delhi is set for a major infrastructure and welfare boost worth over Rs 3,000 crore, coinciding with Seva Pakhwada from September 17–October 2, and Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s birthday.
The package spans water, sewage, drainage, and road projects aimed at cleaner systems and improved connectivity. The Delhi Jal Board will unveil 13 projects, including a new sewer network in Sonia Vihar to address long-pending sanitation issues. A Master Balancing Reservoir at Palla will enhance water storage and distribution, while an underground Reservoir at Bijwasan will stabilise supply for South-West Delhi.
The Okhla Sewage Treatment Plant, one of the capital’s largest, is being upgraded to curb Yamuna pollution, alongside new treatment facilities to expand capacity. On the civic front, the PWD will release the Delhi Drainage Master Plan, providing a long-term blueprint against recurring monsoon waterlogging.
Meanwhile, East Delhi commuters will benefit from the new Nand Nagri Flyover, expected to ease congestion and reduce travel time. Together, these initiatives underscore a comprehensive push towards sustainable urban growth.
